Developing Wii games just got easier.

GarageGames, the leading technology provider for independent game developers, will be present at this week's the Wii Summit for authorized Wii developers. They will be demonstrating Torque for Wii and available to talk with developers about licensing Torque for development of 2D and 3D games.

GarageGames has said that they expect to see a new level of interest in Torque for Wii from casual developers due to the new 2D drag and drop game creation features of Torque Game Builder which are now incorporated into Torque for Wii. Torque Game Builder is a popular solution for casual game developers looking to make games for PC and Torque for Wii now offers those games a path to the Wii console. GarageGames claims more than a dozen titles in development for Wii using Torque.

The company has mentioned on their website that Torque for Wii licensing for developers has no term limits on development and a zero-royalty, flat-fee structure. They have also said that heavily discounted license pricing is available for games targeting the WiiWare™ downloadable service, versus those aiming for disc-based retail delivery.
